Ahh Becker College where can I start? Well actually nowhere because there is nothing to say about a private school with about 1600 people, half of which live off campus. Another funny thing I learned about the school is that about 99% of the people who attend live 5 minutes away but insist on rooming. Also Becker has a zero tolerance policy for drinking, the biggest party i have been to was about 15 people, how cool is that! It's really a shame Becker didn't make the top 10 party school list. Campus police walks in and out of the dorms as they please; it’s really sweet of them to make sure everyone is safe. I wouldn’t even know where to begin in defining the type of kids who go to this school; lets just say they are far from preppy. Oooo sports here rule, seriously they are so good, just kidding we haven’t won a game in years. Well that about sums it up.
if you dont want to have fun and sit in your dorm room 24/7 then go to Becker College

I agree with the other definition the other person said about this school. The school is separated with 2 campuses, one in the middle of nowhere and the other in the crap city of Worcester. The one in Worcester has only 2 buildings for the school, and the rest of the campus is a super small community of apartment houses that is constantly patrolled by campus police (they walk into the dorms as they please and close your doors and lock you out if your not in there even though your next door). If you like eating the same thing every single day, this is the perfect place for you (Cheeseburgers, fries, pizza, grilled cheese, tortillas with hardly any meat, no trays, bootleg soda; RC Cola; cups that are found everywhere on campus; in bathrooms, on the streets, in random places; a sandwich guy who does not know how to make a simple peanut butter sandwich). Less than 1/10 of the school lives on campus, more than 8/10 of the school population is females, which you can find most of them coughing up a lung outside of classes from smoking. Activities? Only a few people attend, maybe one to three? Oh, did I mention you can't have fun here? You can't have any parties, you can't drink even if your 21+, if you get caught drinking, they charge you with a fine of up to $25 (You will have to go see Tyrone! A big guy with huge lips). Oh and don't bother considering the "free laptop" thing, its a rip off. The dorms are a piece of shit, the only good one is Cedar Hall, the ONLY one they will show you in tours of the college campus. Think you will have your own parking spot? WRONG! People will park in the parking lot that don't have a parking permit and campus police claims "They can't do anything about it". Don't expect big parties on the weekends, because everyone goes home on the weekends. If you like random nerds going into your dorms to play video games from morning till past midnight, this place would be perfect for you. Enjoy your music while you can, because they will tell you to turn it down. There's nothing to do, AT ALL, around here, so you get to sit in your room all day and play video games! Yay!
Girl: So, what school do you go to?
Guy: Becker College
Girl: What's that?
Girl: Where do you go for school?
Guy: BC
Girl: Boston College?
Guy: Lets just leave it at BC
WARNING: Just don't even come to this school.
The criminal justice program has been here for a looong time and it still isn't accredited for the Quinn Bill

Lafayette College, nearly a brilliant sentence in itself, is one of the nation's most premier colleges. To say Lafayette is the safety school of Lehigh University (I just puked in my mouth) is perhaps one of the most preposterous statements that can ever be said. True, Lafayette and Lehigh cannot be ranked together, (because they belong to different categories) but nonetheless, Lafayette is ranked better in it's own category (according to US News and World Report). Not only that, but Lafayette's stunning campus is situated upon "the hill," rather than being mixed in with the nasty-thug ghettoes like Lehigh is. What more can be said? Lafayette kicks Lehigh's ugly loser ass any day. Period.
Beautiful Lafayette College Student #1: "Did you see those Neanderthals on campus today?"
Beautiful Lafayette College Student #2: "No, man. They were just some Lehigh students."
Beautiful Lafayette College Student #1: "Wow - thank God we're so much better."

The college was originally founded under the name St. Stephen's, in association with the Episcopal church of New York City, and changed its name to Bard in 1934 in honor of its founder, John Bard. While the college remains affiliated with the church, it pursues a far more secular mission today. Between 1928 and 1944, Bard/St. Stephen's operated as an undergraduate school of Columbia University. Bard/St. Stephen's ties with Columbia were severed when Bard became a fully coeducational college.
By the 1930s, Bard had become atypical among US colleges in that it had begun to place a heavy academic emphasis on the performing and fine arts. During that time, a substantive examination period was introduced for students in their second year, as well as what the dean at the time called the "final demonstration." These two periods would come to be known as Moderation and Senior Project, respectively.
For the class of 2012, 25% of applicants were accepted, while the median SAT and ACT scores for matriculating students were 1330 (math plus verbal) and 30, respectively. Fifty-four percent of matriculating students ranked in the top 10% of their high school class out of 44% of students who reported their ranking.The Princeton Review rated Bard a 96 out of 99 in its selectivity rating, and US News & World Report categorized Bard as "most selective."The class of 2011 represent 38 states and 46 different countries.
However, Bard has a high hipster population.
Hipster: What is truth?
Other person: Oh my God, stop being so Bard College.

An uber-liberal, semi-rural 4-yr college in Western MA.
Hampshire College is a member of the Five College Consortium and is viewed as the eccentric hippie school. A well known myth maintains that the characters in Scooby Doo were based on the colleges in the Consortium. Hampshire is said to have been the basis for Shaggy although it did not open until 1970, after the show first aired.
Students receive evaluations rather than grades. Even if you ask, professors will not convert your eval to a grade. Each student has an adviser who, unlike at most schools, tends to actually have a significant role in the student's life.
Hampshire is unique in that it has a Farm Center and blacksmithing forges. Its strong subject areas are in the Natural Sciences and Film & Photography.
Hampshire has a small population, but students can take classes, enroll in clubs, and party at the other four schools so diversity (except ideological) and resources are not as limited as at other schools of a similar size.
"Isn't Will great? He just edited this essay I wrote for my Amherst class."
"Yeah, he gave me some really helpful advice last week. God...Will is fucking hilarious. I can't wait until I take another class with him next semester."
"The White Folks Against Racism Coalition is campaigning for the school to establish a post for an anti-racism professor."
"What is this idealistic bullshit? Hampshire College's budget and endowment are so shitty we have to pay for the library's printer paper."

One of the smallest colleges in New England; Dean is found in the middle of Franklin, MA. Half the school is international and the only 4-year program is Dance. The Dance majors run the school, and get what they want. Most students don't even know what sports teams Dean has. Dean Hall and Bourrett are haunted. the triads is where you go to party. Houston, Mitchell, and Clark are residence's no one knows exist. Everyone knows everyone and rumors spread faster than wildfire. The population drops from 900 students to 200 for weekends since most students live within a two hour drive. Though Dean is small and you make get annoyed while your here, ask any alumni, Dean is somewhere that you will always want to be, and will always remember.
Dean College Dancers are the people crossing the street in cut off sweats with pants underneath.

A small college in Burlington, VT with a mix of hippies, druggies, ski/ snowboard bums, and gamers. Your social standing is mostly based on the amount of powder you shred and the amount you put up your nose.
Guy 1: Those girls really know how to party
Guy 2: Well of course, they do go to Champlain College
